We performed femoral nerve block (levobupivacaine 0,5% 15 ml), obturators nerve block (levobupivacaine 0,5% 7 ml), lateral cutaneous nerve block (levobupivacaine 0.5% 3 ml) and sciatic nerve block (levobupivacaine 0,5% 20 ml) focusing on a lateral approach according to…
The erector spinae plane block: a narrative review
